Abstract
The temperature field in the developing region of a circular rotating pipe was analysed by assuming three different velocity distributions a t the entrance. It was noted that the shape of the inlet velocity dist ribution has a weak influence when the pipe is stationary. However, wh en the pipe is subjected to large rotating velocity significant differ ence was realized. This is due to the size of the separation bubble wh ich depends strongly upon the shape of inlet velocity profile.
